Thom Morecroft: recent triple prize winner at
The Liverpool Musicians Awards (Best Solo Male, Best Acoustic Band and Best
Album) and all round nice guy with a voice that is as charming and distinctive
as you could imagine!
Doodah
Farm:
are a four piece folk rock band playing toe tapping
tunes to shake a tail feather to. The first murmurings of creative energy came
when Stevie Myler got himself completely sober for the first time in his adult
life and, after many years of playing other people’s stuff, realised he had
more to say. So when he bumped in to old friend Mark Dickinson they started
playing their own material as a duo. Luckily that’s when they met Joe Lamb and
Jordan Atkins. Joe had come, Ukulele in hand, to make his fortune and Jordan.
So with the final piece’s of the jigsaw Doodah Farm emerged.
Forthaven: a Rocktronic act which uses live instruments and technology to create
emotive soundcapes akin to laika and curve. Forthaven is the result of a
professional bass player turning to producing, which has resulted in a blend of
live instruments and electronica akin to Massive Attack, Laika and Curve. The
debut album, Histrionic, was released on the 30th of September 2013 and
comprises of 22 tracks.
Zilov Gaps: is
guitars, electronics, basses, beats, drums, vocals, synths, glockenspiels and
more. It’s post-rock but with vox; electronica but with guitars; shoegaze but
with beats; melodic but with epic noise-fests. It's the space between
everywhere else, filled with massive, wondrous noise
Run
Tiger Run: Run Tiger Run are an
unapologetically indie rock four piece with a focus on rhythm and texture,
embracing sounds of post-rock through to dance pop. Having taken on many forms
prior to the summer of 2013 they have now played the majority of venues
Liverpool has to offer in such a short space of time, supporting the likes of
Catfish and the Bottlemen, Jaws, Coasts and more.
Daddy Science: Acoustic
Electronica from one of the vocalists from Manchester Hip Hop collective Coupe
De Ville.
More announcements will be made closer to the time of the festival.
